The federal vocational baccalaureate courses – orientation T – Technique – are proposed to all the apprentices of both EMF sections (Industry and IT) in its integrated form (FVB1).

During the first three years of studies, the EMF-Industry and IT students are grouped in mixed classes during several weekdays.

The students who were not promoted at the end of their first year in the integrated FVB1 program, must take the eCG (general culture) classes with specific expanded program in mathematics, German and English.

Professional sections of the EMF offer VET programs in French only. Thanks to its transversal position the FVB section proposes both French and Bilingual (French-German) courses. This possibility allows the German-speaking students to acquire communication skills in French and some French-speaking students to improve their skills in German.
